Olga Kurylenko cast as headmistress in 'Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters'
30 April 2013 6:56 AM, PDT | Twilight Examiner | See recent Twilight Examiner news »
The teacher is in. Ukranian actress Olga Kurylenko has now been selected to star as headmistress Ellen Kirova in Mark Waters' book-to-screen adaptation of Richelle Mead's "Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters." In the books Kirova is described as a "vulture" with grey hair and some sage wisdom, so clearly the filmmakers are going for a sultrier approach here with the casting of Kurylenko! She joins Zoey Deutch, Lucy Fry and Danila Kozlovskiy for the cast of the film, which is expected to fully begin shooting in May. Olga Kurylenko is best known for her action feature fare in films like "Hitman," "Max Payne," "Quantum Of Solace" and most recently "Oblivion." "Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters" hits theaters on Feb. 1 //// »

5 Current-Gen Games That Should Be Made Into Movies
19 February 2013 8:49 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Movies inspired by video games are well-known for their ability to disappoint their audience.
Movies like Mortal Kombat, Doom and Max Payne didn’t live up to their hype. People were expecting a movie that did justice to their respective games – what they got in return was Doom’s extremely dark screen, a close up of Mark Wahlberg’s face during what should have been Max Payne’s most intense shootout, and Mortal Kombat’s cheesey dialogue.
This doesn’t necessarily mean video games can’t be made into movies: Resident Evil, Prince of Persia and Tomb Raider turned out to be pretty successful.
Here is a list of 5 current-gen video games that should be made into movies. These were picked with regards to the potential of satisfying its audience based on story, visuals and originality…

What A Day To Die Hard – The Marathon Review
18 February 2013 11:07 AM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
A little over a month ago, we posted that in celebration of it’s 25th anniversary there will be a Die Hard Marathon showing all four movies starting around Noon on February 13th followed by the premier of A Good Day To Die Hard at 10Pm getting out just before Midnight. That’s almost 12 action-packed hours of Die Hard awesomeness! As you can guess, there was no way I could refuse to take this opportunity to see one of the greatest action-movie series of all time for the first time on the big screen, or make that Mega-Screen since I decided to see this at Wehrenberg’s Chesterfield Galaxy 14 Cine, which in my opinion is one of the best movie theatres here in the St. Louis area. For $25 you got all five movies plus a collectable lanyard that entitles you to a 25% discount at concessions throughout the whole day and with their wide-selection, »

Latest Willis-as-McClane Film to Become Least Watched Domestically?
17 February 2013 8:50 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Box office comparisons between the current and the previous Die Hard movies [See previous post: "Is the latest Willis / Die Hard movie a domestic box-office hit or a flop?"] However, when compared to the previous four movies in the franchise, the latest entry is nothing but a box-office disappointment -- though, I should add, it's the first movie in the franchise not to open in late spring/summer. (Pictured above: Willis as the invincible hero John McClane in A Good Day to Die Hard.) Directed by John McTiernan (who's currently facing a potential one-year prison sentence for lying to the FBI during the Anthony Pellicano wiretapping investigation several years ago), the original Die Hard movie released in 1988 scored $7.5 million (approximately $14 million today) at 1,276 theaters on its first weekend in wide release, July 22-24. The movie eventually cumed with $83 million (approximately $162.5 million today) in the United States and Canada. Director Renny Harlin's Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990) grossed $21.74m (approx. $41m today) at 2,507 venues on its opening »

A Good Day to Die Hard and Bruce Willis Top Box Office with $25 Million
17 February 2013 7:13 PM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
Bruce Willis and his fifth turn at John McClane in A Good Day to Die Hard beat out last week's champ Identity Thief and a quartet of new arrivals including Safe Haven and Beautiful Creatures to claim the number one spot at the North American box office over the President's Day weekend. While business roared back to life following the crippling blizzard on the East Coast last weekend, the numbers were still down roughly 12% from last year's levels.
It has been six years since Willis battled bad guys in Live Free or Die Hard. That 2007 PG-13 rated entry opened in late June and ended up making a franchise-high $134 million (pre-inflation) while scoring the best reviews for the series since the 1988 original.
Twentieth Century Fox took five years to deliver the inevitable follow up and finally did in the form of R-rated A Good Day to Die Hard, the first franchise »

Rated: A Good Day to Die Hard (2013)
17 February 2013 8:23 AM, PST | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
Like aging rock bands on tour belting out the same ancient hit song over and over again, a trend has emerged in Hollywood which allows former action heroes of decades past to give it another try. A Good Day To Die Hard is the latest film to ride that wave.
The unique thing about action films is that, typically, if they turn out to be popular and profitable, you can almost always guarantee that there will be a sequel. Similarly, if that original film experiences unusual success for all those involved, you can almost always guarantee that more than one sequel will be attempted. Rocky, Rambo, The Terminator, and Die Hard are all excellent examples. Sequels for these films should have stopped when the number that came after the main title was “2”, but that didn’t happen. These franchises were once solid and commendable film accomplishments; some of the most »

'A Good Day to Die Hard' movie review: This is not the 'Die Hard' you're looking for
14 February 2013 12:43 PM, PST | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
"A Good Day to Die Hard" has some of the stuff you expect from a "Die Hard" movie -- Bruce Willis as John McClane, insanely over-the-top action -- without any of the charm, wit or personality that actually defines the action franchise.
It's too easy to say "Good Day" is as bad as "Die Hard" gets, but that doesn't mean it's not true. At 97 minutes -- a record brief running time for the franchise -- it's a nasty, brutish and short movie that relies on nonstop destruction to distract from an overly convoluted plot.
The basics of the story involve McClane traveling to Moscow in search of estranged son, Jack (Jai Courtney) a.k.a. John Jr., only to discover that Jr. is an undercover CIA agent trying to protect whistleblower Komarov (Sebastian Koch) from government assassins. When things get really heated, the older McClane steps in to help out. »

2 New Featurettes for A Good Day to Die Hard – ‘Ramping Up the Action’
14 February 2013 10:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Marking the fifth entry in the franchise, A Good Day to Die Hard finally arrives on the big screen today, bringing with it all the action and explosions you’d expect from Bruce Willis and John McClane.
Willis is of course reprising his role as the iconic character once more, and Fox have debuted two new featurettes for the action blockbuster as it heads into theatres.
“Bruce Willis is back as iconoclastic, take-no-prisoners cop John McClane, who for the first time finds himself on foreign soil after traveling to Moscow to help his wayward son Jack (Jai Courtney) — unaware that Jack is really a highly-trained CIA operative out to stop a nuclear weapons heist. With the Russian underworld in pursuit, and battling a countdown to war, the two McClanes discover their opposing methods make them unstoppable heroes.”
Willis stars opposite Jai Courtney, playing his on-screen son, Jack McClane. The two star alongside Yuliya Snigir, »

Sound Off: John Moore's 'A Good Day to Die Hard' - Your Thoughts?
14 February 2013 8:24 AM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? He's back, again! For more explosions! John McClane - the "007 of Plainfield, New Jersey". Returning for his fifth time, it's A Good Day to Die Hard, directed by John Moore (Behind Enemy Lines, The Omen, Max Payne), another action movie about McClane but this time he's in Russia when shit goes down. Bruce Willis returns to take on the bad guys and he's joined by actor Jai Courtney playing his son Jack. So how is this one? Better than the fourth, third, or second? Or more action trash? Once you've seen it, post a comment with your thoughts about A Good Day to Die Hard. To fuel the explosions, as much as I enjoyed some of the action in this, overall there wasn't much there. The best part about A Good Day to Die Hard is that it's very lightweight entertainment, »

12 ways to fix the Die Hard franchise

Feature Simon Brew Feb 15, 2013
As A Good Day To Die Hard opens to mediocre reviews, we come up with a dozen things on our Die Hard 6 wishlist...
Warning: The following contains light spoilers for A Good Day To Die Hard
By now, quite a few of you are likely to have seen the latest Die Hard movie. Chances are, many liked it a lot more than we did. However, with Die Hard 6 all but already confirmed, we've got a bit of a wishlist of things we'd like the franchise to sort out. So without further ado...
1. Enough of this 12A/PG-13 nonsense
We may as well start with one of the key areas of complaint, and get it out the way. Few people have any quarrel when a movie organically arrives at a 12A/PG-13 rating, because that's appropriate for the material, and for telling the story properly. Where the »

A Good Day to Die Hard Review: Bad Day for Fans
13 February 2013 7:12 PM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
Dear Bruce Willis,
What happened to you? You used to represent the best in the action hero archetype. The "everyman" who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time; a man who, when the stuff hit the fan, found a way to save people and make us root for you. David Addison be damned, you were John McClane! You were the best of us. And we loved you.
But now...
A Good Day to Die Hard is a terrible film. There, I can save you time in reading this review, because it needs to be said early and often. Take every dumb cliche; every ridiculous action film notion, and then add terrible editing, a horrible script, suspect directing, and a shaky handheld camera and you get the latest (and hopefully last) film in the decades-running Die Hard film franchise.

Is This 'Die Hard' A Big Joke?
13 February 2013 3:26 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's supposed to be a parody of itself, right?
That's the only way to explain the ridiculously over-the-top, repetitively numbing fifth film in the "Die Hard" franchise, the clunkily titled "A Good Day to Die Hard."
John McClane used to be a cowboy. Now, he's a cartoon character – specifically, Wile E. Coyote, given how many times he should be seriously injured and/or killed in this movie. He's shot at, involved in several serious car accidents, crashes through glass windows and ceilings and plummets through floor after floor of high-rise scaffolding. The most he suffers is a scratch here and there, and then he's ready to pop back up again with a bemused twinkle in his eye and a wry quip.
Part of the charm of this character, which was crucial in defining Bruce Willis' career, was the regular-guy, Reagan-era resourcefulness he represented; now, he's weirdly superhuman. But as »

A Good Day To Die Hard Review
13 February 2013 2:28 PM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
A Good Day To Die Hard is not among the very worst action films I have ever seen – nor is it even the worst movie opening in theatres today – but as lazy, forgettable, utterly soulless Hollywood filmmaking goes, this is a particularly depressing exercise in banality. Whatever the film wishes to call itself, it is not a Die Hard movie, in any way, shape, or form, not only bearing no conceivable resemblance to the original 1988 film, but standing many worlds away from the franchise’s fourth and most recent entry, Live Free or Die Hard. It is something else entirely, something ugly and crass and uncomfortably mean-spirited, and while I am sure it will leave my thoughts for good only a short while after finishing this review, for the moment, I feel utterly sad and disheartened by how far this once entertaining series has fallen.
I am sure many viewers will feel the same way. »

'A Good Day to Die Hard' (2013) Movie Review
13 February 2013 12:05 PM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Terrible. A Good Day to Die Hard is terrible and if you're not clued in to that fact about ten minutes in, by the time you hit the 30 minute mark you'll be well aware. Much has already been made about how the franchise has returned to an R-rating after the PG-13 Live Free or Die Hard and how this is the shortest of all the Die Hard films by about 30 minutes. Trust me, you're going to wish it was even shorter. Without any context whatsoever, A Good Day to Die Hard introduces us to a whole crop of people we don't know or care about. Some Russian guy is going to go to court to reveal information concerning some other Russian guy. Next, a guy we will later learn is Jack (Jai Courtney), the son of Bruce Willis's iconic New York City police officer John McClane, is thrown into jail following an assassination attempt. »
